We are seeking a Head of Finance to own Tracera’s business finance, FP&A, KPIs, and financial strategy, while overseeing and supervising our third-party accounting and bookkeeping partners. This role is ideal for a finance leader who thrives in fast-paced startup environments and is excited to drive strategic decision-making through data, modeling, and financial insight — without owning day-to-day bookkeeping execution.
This role partners closely with the CEO and leadership team to bring clarity, rigor, and foresight to financial planning, performance management, and company-wide decision-making.

- Translate data into clear, actionable insights
- Establish a consistent monthly and quarterly performance review cadence
FP&A & Strategic Planning
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, and reforecasting cycles
- Develop and maintain short- and long-term financial models
- Own scenario planning and sensitivity analysis to support strategic decisions
- Support leadership on:
- Hiring plans and headcount modeling
- Pricing and packaging decisions
- Investment prioritization and trade-offs
- Prepare financial narratives and materials for board and investor discussions
Oversight of Accounting & Financial Operations
- Oversee third-party accounting partners responsible for:

- General ledger, reconciliations, and accruals
- AP/AR, payroll coordination, and expense management
- Review and validate financial outputs for accuracy and completeness
- Ensure GAAP compliance and appropriate internal controls through partner oversight
- Coordinate audits, tax filings, and external advisors as needed
Qualifications & Experience
- 5–7+ years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, or business finance roles
- Strong experience in financial modeling, forecasting, KPIs, and performance analysis
- Prior experience working in a VC-backed startup or high-growth environment
- Experience overseeing or managing third-party accounting / finance providers
- Solid understanding of SaaS metrics and financial best practices
- Comfortable operating at both strategic and hands-on levels (analysis, models, dashboards)
- Highly collaborative, adaptable, and comfortable with ambiguity
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence executive decision-making
Nice to Have
- Prior experience scaling finance at an early-stage company
- Exposure to fundraising, board reporting, or investor relations
- SaaS or technology company background
- Experience evolving finance functions ahead of rapid growth
Why This Role
- High visibility and ownership across the business
